A statement from the school district given to the Times-Mirror says police “have not determined what charges, if any, will be sought regarding this incident.” According to a report from the local FOX affiliate, video of the incident was at one point posted online, although “police could not confirm” that detail. Police are reportedly interviewing players on the team. Tuscarora resumed practice on Tuesday of this week, and will play their scheduled game Friday night against Freedom High School.
